Although we have heard of the music of J.S. Bach in countless
performances and recordings, the composer himself still comes
across only as an enigmatic figure in a single familiar portrait.
As we mark the 250th anniversary of Bach's death, author and
leading Bach scholar, here Christoph Wolff presents a new picture
that brings to life this towering figure of the Baroque era. This
engaging new biography portrays Bach as the living, breathing, and
sometimes imperfect human being that he was, while bringing to bear
all the advances of the last half-century of Bach scholarship.
Wolff demonstrates the intimate connection between the composer's
life and his music, showing how Bach's superb inventiveness
pervaded his career as a musician, composer, performer, scholar,
and teacher. And throughout, we see Bach in the broader context of
his time: its institutions, traditions, and influences. With this
highly readable book, Wolff sets a new standard for Bach biography.
